DNC Chair Tom Perez and DNC Veterans and Military Families Council Co-Chair Jan H. Donatelli released the following statement on Memorial Day:

“As Americans across the country gather with family and friends this holiday weekend, we remember the many brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice defending the ideals we all share. We are forever indebted to them for their courage, and to all those who serve and protect our country each and every day. Democrats believe we have a sacred and moral responsibility to support our troops and their families – both when they serve and after they come home. Whether it’s ensuring that they have job opportunities, access to education, or the health care they deserve, Democrats will never stop fighting for those who fight for us.”
